A striking vintage 18ct yellow gold signet ring, featuring a beautifully engraved intaglio of a hare — poised upright on its hind legs, one ear lowered and forepaws raised in an alert, lifelike stance. The craftsmanship is exceptional, with crisp detail and fine depth to the carving, capturing the hare’s agility and quiet strength.
In folklore, the hare is a symbol of renewal, intuition, and good fortune, long admired for its grace and quickness of spirit. This deeply carved intaglio embodies those same qualities — elegant yet full of vitality.
The ring is substantial and finely made, with a wonderful weight that reflects its superb 18ct gold construction. In fabulous condition, this is a distinguished and meaningful piece, combining craftsmanship, symbolism, and timeless style.
